BEST OF THE REST

Here are some other great

things we saw this month

Apparently this is Reddit

user CHRISFRED’s first Pi

project – they’ve installed

LEDs into the top of a cap

to show during graduation.

It cycles between

different messages and

images – hopefully it’s

controllable so that when

it’s thrown into the air,

the perfect picture can

be taken. Especially as it

will probably break as it

crashes to the floor.

PI-POWERED

GRADUATION CAP

If you’ve not heard of them before, the Let’s Robot

team put up video streams with their robots which the

viewers can control. Now you can steer a Pi-powered

robot that cuts the lawn. This is frankly amazing – the

grass will never have been so thoroughly cut!

THE MONTH IN RASPBERRY PI

CROWDFUND

THIS!

The best crowdfunding hits this

month for you to check out...

This one is not specifically for a Raspberry Pi, but

is a great way to organise your breadboard circuits

for Pi projects. The case is made of laser-cut acrylic

or wood depending on your choice, has magnetic

catches, and comes with a little breadboard that fits

perfectly inside.

NIBBLER CASE 170

A spin-off of the Mega-IO expansion card

(kck.st/2eLc4n0) that removes a lot of the

functionality in favour of just including the relays.

They can be stacked easily, which allows for greater

control of many more devices than what you can do

with just the GPIO pins on their own.

We got an email from

Isaac, 14, of Awesome

Industry to tell us

about his great new Pi

Wiimote-IoT project on

GitHub. You can use it to

control Phillips Hue lights

and Sonos systems with a

Wii Remote, and we think

that’s pretty cool.
